Re: Wearing skirts in public - gasp
Were a little late to the party, 8th of April was the date. It would be fun to try and spread the word out for next year in English and our local languages. My German isn't very good but it seems for a good cause.

This year is the third time that "Rethink Masculinity Day" has taken place.
The report says that, this year, there were events in Zurich, Basel and Bern. All large cities in Switzerland.
I think that is very encouraging.

Would it be a good idea to move this thread to the "Advocacy & Mens Skirts In the News" section of SC?

Re: Wearing skirts in public - gasp
It's what I do anyway.
However, and nothing to do with my sexuality or the cafe, I will take part in Aberdeen Pride this year.
Yes, it has to be shown as acceptable for a gender normative straight red blooded grizzled old dude like me to wear what he wishes, when he wishes!
In the first instance, I shall be all out exuberant, but the second and more serious part comes later, perhaps even conservative.
An awful lot of people at the event will have been and, still be, in hell due to their choices.
Not unlike some of us around here, hence my reasoning.
As for the location of the thread, does it really matter?

Anyone can take part in a Pride event. I have been going Brighton Pride with my daughter for three years and once by accident in London.
In Brightonhe the pubs are overflowing with people showing their support.

This is under consideration, but this particular character is completely under water with work at the moment.shadowfax wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 6:03 amWould it be a good idea to move this thread to the "Advocacy & Mens Skirts In the News" section of SC?![]()

I put 'gasp' on the end becuase they say they will be wearing skirts 'in public'. Shock horror.Seb wrote: ↑Tue Apr 15, 2025 5:32 am Were a little late to the party, 8th of April was the date.

I have read a little more into it and they have a baseline message of separating themselves from mens groups and questioning male priviledges. Whatever that is in 2025?

I have a pretty slim presence on social media, but I am willing and will post and share where I can.
